9 1/2 Weeks Famous Food Scene

"It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one." ~ M.F.K. Fisher

Confession: Monaco

We arrived in Monaco and after departing the tour bus headed towards the Oceanographic Museum.  I was really excited to learn that I would also visit Princess Grace of Monaco's resting place.  OK, jumping ahead and after the Museum visit, we were walking towards resting place (see pic below)

As I was walking towards the entrance, I came upon this dude (see below).  I was like so amazed that I had to capture video LOL he literally walked back and forth like this for HOURS!  I was thinking like who did he piss off to be stuck with doing this sh*t LOL  I even made gestures, cat calls and even gave him the finger to try and get his attention.  All to no avail.  I was contemplating jumping the chain link that separated us.  On second thought I decided I didn't want to get shot with that world war II  knife gun that he was toting LOL I mean this dude just kept going and going and going and going #WTF LOL

Wine of the Week - Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Chile Wine

Wine of the Week - Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot Chile Wine
So I have been trying many different wines lately. Last night, with the recommendation of the package store attendant, I purchased this one. I am usually a semi-sweet wine type (Sweet Riesling or Sweet Red), this one turns out to be a great buy! Full bodied, I won't say that it is dry but the finish seems to be a little dry. It is a pretty decent wine for the price. Besides, I had never tried a blend before this one. Not bad--not bad at all!!

Chef of the Month

Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto


Photobucket

Masaharu Morimoto (森本正治 Morimoto Masaharu; born May 26, 1955 in Hiroshima, Japan) is a well-known Japanese chef, best-known as the third (and last) Iron Chef Japanese on the TV cooking show Iron Chef, and an Iron Chef on its spinoff, Iron Chef America. Morimoto's costume on Iron Chef is silver with red trim and a picture on the back of Japanese and American flags tied together in a sheaf, while on Iron Chef America he dons the standard blue Iron Chef outfit with white trim. In his professional life, to distinguish himself from his on-screen persona, Morimoto wears (purely aesthetic) glasses.

Morimoto received practical training in sushi and traditional Kaiseki cuisine in Hiroshima, and opened his own restaurant in that city in 1980. Influenced by western cooking styles, he decided to sell his restaurant in 1985 in order to travel around the United States and his travels further influenced his fusion style of cuisine. He established himself in Manhattan, New York City, and worked in some of that city's more prestigious restaurants, including the dining area for Sony Corporation's executive staff and visiting V.I.Ps., the Sony Club, where he was executive chef, and the exclusive Japanese restaurant Nobu, where he was head chef.


It was during his time at Nobu where he got his start on the Iron Chef television show. Several months after the weekly run of Iron Chef ended in 1999, he left Nobu, eventually opening his own Morimoto restaurant in Philadelphia in 2001. He has plans to open a second Morimoto restaurant in New York City.

Morimoto currently appears as an Iron Chef in Iron Chef America, a spin-off from the original Japanese "Iron Chef" series.

Ask Chef L Boogie: Olive Oil as Anal Sex Lubricant?

Photobucket



Hi Chef L Boogie:

Two months ago I met an amazing man from Spain, we had a hot affair during the time that he was visiting my city and he told me that he was a collector of olive oil. We talked about having anal sex during the time that he was here but it never happened. Anyway, I am planning a trip to Spain to visit him and I thought about bringing him a nice bottle of olive oil to be used as a lubricant for our anal adventures! But my question is: is it a safe lubricant in terms of keeping the condom from breaking?

Thank you! Hot for Spain


Dear Hot for Spain,

Olive oil + latex condom = broken condom! Avoid using latex with any oil, oil-based lube, or petroleum products.

That's the quick answer, but there's much more that can be said about safer sex, condoms, lube, and erotic olive oil options.

A good lubricant for anal sex is essential. Lube makes anal sex more pleasurable, decreases risk of condom-breakage, and helps protect sensitive tissue. If you are using latex condoms, or any other latex barriers such as gloves or dental dams, olive oil should be avoided because oils and oil-based lubricants and lotions cause latex to break down. For any sexual activity using latex barriers, water-based or silicone-based lubricants are recommended.

Water-based lube, the most oft-recommended kind, can be used safely with latex and with silicone toys and it cleans up easily. Water-based lubes abound at sex novelty stores and drugstores alike. For anal sex, look for non-flavored varieties (flavored lube often has sugar and other ingredients that may cause irritation in penetrative anal or vaginal sex). Water-based lubricants may be somewhat sticky when they dry, but can be refreshed easily by adding water, saliva, or more lube.

Some people prefer silicone-based lube for anal sex because it typically has a slicker quality, stays wetter longer, and does not dry sticky. Like water-based lube, silicone is safe for use with latex. The body does not absorb silicone, which means it won't clog pores, but it may be more difficult to wash off (and out) of the body. Silicone lube will damage silicone sex toys, so the two should not be used together unless there is a condom on the toy.

Olive oil may be an option for lubricant if you use polyurethane condoms instead of latex. However, a word of caution with regard to olive oil and orifices: It may be difficult to remove, may clog pores, or may cause infection or irritation, so it is not recommended for internal use (except for eating, of course). Olive oil may be used erotically in other ways though, as an external masturbatory lubricator (probably safer for use on the penis than the clitoris) for example, or as massage oil with very little risk of any of the health concerns noted above (thought it may stain sheets). If you decide to use olive oil externally first, and have sex after, even if you use silicone or water-based lube, polyurethane condoms are still recommended rather than latex because the condom may have come into contact with olive oil residue left on the sheets or on other parts of the body.

Here's to overseas adventures with slippery substances!

Ask Chef L Boogie: Is Sperm Fattening?

Dear chef L Boogie,

I’m very vain about my figure. I’m in great shape, ride my bike 120 miles a week, watch what I eat, and count every calorie. So, here’s my question: How many calories are in semen? My boyfriend and I enjoy oral sex about three times a week. Is it fattening?

Shy Girl





-----

Shy Girl,

When sperm leaves the human male, it travels at a speed of 27 miles-an-hour. It weighs in at about a teaspoon, contains three times the vitamins of a Jolly Rancher and fairly explodes with protein (about the same as an egg white.) As for calories? 5-7. Fewer than a cherry Life Saver. Bon Appetit!

Best Found Recipe of the Month - Banana Pancakes with Rum Syrup

Ready in: 30-60 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 tablespoon butter (melted)

***Rum Syrup***
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons dark Jamaican rum



Directions:

Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl combine milk, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is almost smooth.

Next, fold the bananas into the batter. Let this set, loosely covered, for about 25 minutes.

Combine the melted butter with the remaining oil. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour a teaspoon of the butter and oil mixture in the skillet and heat.

For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter into the pan and cook until small bubbles form on the top, usually about 1 minute.

Turn the pancake over and cook an additional 30 to 45 seconds. Proceed with the rest of the batter, adding more of the bitter and oil mixture to the pan as necessary.

Serve warm with the rum syrup.

For Rum Syrup: Combine all the ingredients in a 4 cup microwave safe measuring cup. Cook on medium high power for 2 minutes, until the butter is melted. Stir and serve hot.
